Have 1986, 272 with twin 350 Mercruiser, 250 hp---had three blade stainless steel clever props when I bought it used. They do not pull out of the hole very well. Am wondering if there is a better prop set up for more efficient mid range and better bang out of the hole, even at the expense of a couple of top end miles per hour.

Thanks

Dave F: Procharged? Didn't that have a B&M on it the last time I saw it? You must be moving up in the world....

Don't forget - NJPPC get-together ar D&B in Philly April 20, 2-5 PM, and (probably) another raftup at Dredge Harbor on May18th. Spring's a-comin'!

Enough of the Purdue talk, I was there '73-77. Both my of my sister's kids went there also, early 90's. I grew up close to Purdue in Frankfort.

AH, the Purdue Grand Prix, I was good friends with Chuck Sprague, helped a little with the Tarkington team.

I haven't been back for 10 years.

Cripes!!! That's me! (Or did you figure that out from my earlier post about the 1976 Grand Prix?) I haven't been back since 1996.

Chuck,

You must have me confused with someone else.

I had the Blue 242 that (at the time) didn't idle very well. Karen, you, and "whoo hoo" made fun of me because I didn't have matching dock lines.
I was the "white trash" of the first get together last year.

I guess all the polished aluminum and stainless steel blinded you.

When is the first get- together? Is it gonna be by the TP Bridge again?

Chuck,

The rest of your post just sunk in
April 20 at D&B...My B-day is the 21st if you're interested
and May 18 at Dredge.

got it.

Does D&B charge to dock? I just wanna be prepared, I've never docked there before.

Maybe if I had matching dock lines, they wont charge me. I'll have to run out and get some

Dave F - I remember exactly who you are. I could swear that you had a top-mounted blower on that thing. Oh, well - Like they say, the memory is the second thing to go. (I can't remember what the first thing is....)

Seems to me that you were the one beating yourself up over dockline envy. I know that a bunch of people on OSO recently got a deal on some llines through a member who sells lines for Hotropes.com, but I just ordered a pair from www.MyRope.com. Not only were they cheaper than Hotropes, they embroidered the name of my boat on them for free. Pretty cool. Either of these are single-braid floating lines, available in pretty much any color you want. If you want to go for the all-singing, double throwdown, salty dog braid-on-braid lines, I recommend Miami Cordage at www.IMakeRope.com. (That's where I got the lines for my Formula - made to length with color-coded whipping.)

Technically, there is a $6 flat rate for tying up at D&B. You are supposed to purchase a token at one of the waterfront businesses to get back in to the docks, but everyone ran out of tokens two years ago, so now the latch to the gate has been taped over. There is no attendant at the docks. You may want to bring an extra $6 just in case the system has been reinstated.

(I guess all this should really be under the NJPPC thread In the General Discussion section, shouldn't it?)

It's a shame that this post has been open for a month and I'm just replying . Anyway, there are alot of sweet rides in here!

I have a 1990 292SR1 with twin 454 mags sitting on a triple axle Eagle trailer I'd post a picture, but I'm not sure how to!!

I want to try the white rubrail, but the bottom of the back seat is starting to dryrot, probably should fix that first!
